Menu
I'm building a simple html menu with unordered lists and I'm trying to prevent google chrome browser to display its magnifier every time I click a link.
The browser considers the li's to be too close from each other for the user to click it accurately. But I disagree!
How could I disable/cancel/prevent this behavior, other than setting a bigger padding on the li elements please? Is there even a way?

In future versions of Chrome for Android, the double tap will be removed when you have a viewport set. If you want to disable it for stable today, you will need to set user-scalable=no in your viewport. This will disable zooming (which may be bad for accessibility) but should allow you to get all touch events.
As stated earlier, the Android stuck zoomed in could very well be caused by insufficient cache memory available in your phone. In this case, you must clear up the cache from the settings to get rid of any display glitches.
By default, Chrome sets the zoom level to 100%. To manually adjust the settings, use the Ctrl key and “+” or “-” combos to increase or decrease the page magnification. If you are using a mouse, you can hold down the keyboard Ctrl key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
I think I found a way and it's so stupid I don't know how I didn't think of it sooner...
Just change the viewport meta tag to disable zooming on the page and the magnifier feature won't bother you anymore.
i.e.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no" />
I tested this on Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note with success. Any other input and feedback is welcome!
[EDIT]
After experimenting a lot with mobile UX I'd advise to... DESIGN BIGGER BUTTONS!

I don't think there is a way to disable this as it is a feature of the Android Chrome browser.
Unfortunately, the source code for Android Chrome browser isn't open source (yet) so I can't take a look.
